    Ive always loved Peter Manley, he lived in the city that i live in and his antics were hilarious, i once watched him practicing in the Portland snooker club and he was just hitting tops repeatedly i can't recall him missing it once, i actually stopped watching the football match to watch him practice

    Best interview yet. What a character! Sports were different back then, everything from darts players to football players had far more personality. Peter Manley was like one of those super difficult bosses you had to beat on an old arcade machine hehe. Everything is too professional now and full of rules and video refereeing. Great interview

    Bit of added context to the Lewis incident. It was 1st game on. The MC always welcomed the audience at the Circus Tavern and ran through the matches one by one. Basically he told the audience that Manley was a cracking bet to beat a young Adrian Lewis at 5/2. There was a ladbrokes booth in the CT that then laid this 5/2 to 75% of the audience including myself. We all gave Manley a great reception and poor old Ady was getting stick left right and centre. No doubt contributed to his walk off.

    Absolutely brilliant. Honesty, no bullshit there. Yes he admits wanting to put opponents off, he is/was not the only one. I see it in darts today at all levels, including my local league, right up to big TV tournaments. It can be subtle, but it is effective. I'd much sooner spend a few hours with him than Taylor, despite Taylor being the best ever. You will get more honesty in 5 minutes with Peter Manley than you would get in 5 hours with Phil Taylor. Great interview thanks.

    He wasn't that much around when I started watching darts. The big guns were always Taylor /a young MVG / Anderson / Wade / Lewis and surprisingly, Andy Hamilton on the Telly. "One Dart" was rarely seen on TV. But when it comes to antics...... He's got nothing on Lewis. I think Aidy has had far more suspensions or butt-slaps from the PDC than Peter ever got.
